Christmas Decorations!!--Warning, LOTS of pictures!! :)

Finally, finally....we finally put our Christmas tree up on Saturday! Yes, completely un-American, I know! We were a little hesitant with a 16 month old running around, but actually, Emma has done great with the tree(for a 16 month old-ha!) Here are some pictures of Daddy putting up the tree.....

Then, we have Daddy falling down with the tree.....
I thought Emma had been kind of quiet while Daddy was hard at work, so I looked over and saw her munching on Daddy's sunglasses....
...and here is the aftermath of "mean old Mommy" taking away the sungalsses.

These next few pictures are some ornaments that I had planned on putting on the Christmas tree this year.

Here are some ornaments on the tree. I love the way they sparkle with the lights!

Here is the final product. Not too bad!

Not too much longer after I had taken the previous photo, little Miss Emma found her favorite ornament!

These next few pictures are of random decorations we have for Christmas around the house.

Finally, to work off all of that hard work, we took Emma out to play in the leaves we raked up and never got rid of!

Finally, Emma's future boyfriend, Quinten came over after church to hang out for a while. Aren't they so cute? He likes to get into all over her toys and she just follows him around like a lost puppy. It is too cute!!

It snowed here in Middle America last night. For just one inch, traffic was horrible-it took me 3 1/2 hours to get to work today! I am not ready for this yucky traffic. All well, at least I had my Pottery Barn catalogue with me to pass the time by while I was at a dead stop(for 30 minutes!). I hope your Monday was better. :)
